The Permanent Secretary for Environment was aware of the spill. The CEO of the Maritime Safety Authority of Fiji has deployed personnel to look into the matter. The Fiji Ports Authority were looking into this matter as they tried to control and mitigate any deadly environmental impacts from the spill.

The owners of the "Suilven" has been advised to seek financial assistance to salvage the vessel. Recovering the ship will cost around 20 million dollars.

The next step will basically to see what other lower cost are and whether salvaging options were there, looking at other salvaging people and also we have asked Venu Shipping to look into that.
